I need some inputs on this.

Um, I haven't personally heard that you can't be diagnosed as BPD if you have a lower IQ, but I do know that there is a link between higher IQ and psych. disorders. Albert Einstein was diagnosed with ADHD. My uncle was BPI and his IQ was 168; he was a psychologist. My dad is BPII and his IQ is 143. I'm BPD and my IQ is 151; also studying to be a therapist. I dunno if that helped at all, but something to ponder over.
